q2 i? Participants' eye movements during an imagery task reenacted their study-phase eye movements, and those eye movements predicted memory accuracy. → Björn B. de Koning & Huib K. Tabbers 2011

q2 · i? · review · r3

The review reports Laeng and Teodorescu's two experiments in which participants inspected a visual scene and later imagined it while looking at a blank screen; participants fixated similar locations in a similar order across tasks, and eye movements predicted memory accuracy. No effect size is printed.

"Moreover, the eye movements during imagery and perception tasks predicted memory accuracy. Stated differently, participants ' eye movements in the imagery task reenacted the eye movements from the initial study task."
